Second episode was slightly less impactful than the first one and had some technical issues (why, oh why, can't these thai dramas solve audio problems in a decent way???), BUT I'm loving our boys and their dynamics! Plus, the music is right on point AND the flashbacks fit perfectly both to the storytelling and to the character's backstory and development, I'm really loving the direction up to now!
Sidenote - Singto is so beautiful, how can you not love his cute face and puppy eyes...!
I'm the only one relating the ghost histories with Peaceful property?? the dancing ghost (Book and Force story)…
Same! When they talked about the ghost dancer I was def expecting a male dancer AND when they jumped to the construction site shadow I was like, "HomePeach where are youuuuu"
I made this! A mutual on Tumblr translated some of those older interviews recently for a gifset and I realized…
Thank you for this video! So many people don't know what these two boys had to hear, face, and go through... they are iconic because after all, they managed to always be positive and grow, grow, grow! Love them!
Ok, now - this drama is captivating BUT it's in a dangerous equilibrium between cringeness and majesty.
Like, episode 4, random notes: --- the lady speaking half english half thai in a drug-like speech at the beginning? Did we need that? ---- we could've added speaking german and italian too during the ballroom... and why not korean? Plus yeah, let's sing and dance and maybe do some crochet and an algebra quiz too? --- prince Ramil has the longest and thinnest legs ever --- BL's actors must have the strongest abdomens ever, for all those hours spent bending in the "fell and almost kissed" position simulated in slow motion, while all the other actors move normally around them... --- James! --- handling a crown with bare hands, uhm? o.o --- how good does Zee look with those glasses? --- where did they find that whip Zorro's style??
Boom is definitely the sexiest man on earth, no doubt on that. :D (how can they put Naru's character into a contest for "sexy"? i get Jin and Johnny, but Naru? o.o)
Overall a very good watch, entertaining and great chemistry and acting from the leads - the other cast was meh, set aside few secondary characters. I feel like it's a bit over-rated but it's still a nice one, can't wait for S2 to see Akin back in action!
I was veeeeeeery curious about this so yesterday I watched the first 2 eps and... I'm probably the voice out of the chorus, but I'm not really feeling the show - the dialogues feel either pretty plain OR way too exaggerated, and the storytelling is also quite disconnected, there are some transitions that leave me saying "what? we jump to this like that?".
I don't know Zee & NuNew from other projects, but so far I'm not enjoying NuNew's way of acting which (to me) feels somehow forced and scholastic. As for Zee, his character is pretty stiff so let's see how it turns out in later episodes.
That said, the story and the whole "emmaly's reign" and so on is very nice, so I'll keep watching hoping that it'll catch up. And, the OST and overall atmosphere is pretty nice too, so I'll stay tuned. :)
the team did such an amazing job actually with what source and reference they have! the anime is waaay less serious…
thanks for the info! I only noticed later that it's taken from a manga and I was interested in giving it a try, but I might just skip it knowing that it's pretty silly XD
I was curious to check this "8.7" series and I'm actually pretty surprised by it - now I'm bingewatching out of the incredible sexyness of Akin and I just finished ep8. To be honest, although the plot is pretty futile and the storytelling not the best, the chemistry between these two guys makes it up for all the other missing points.
Boom's such a good actor AND one hell of a hot guy! His eyes and smile are gold!
why 9/10? any movie that leaves me sobbing is a 10/10 for me
Eheheh, there are so many movies that left me sobbing through all these years! Although all of them touched me, there are some which are better than others in terms of plot, directing, cinematography... there are so many factors linked in making a movie a great one! And 9 is already a very high rate. :)

"Paint with Love" it's nice but... it could have really been a great series but has too many plot issues and storytelling problems, unfortunately. :(
I loved his songs with Tae for "Paint with Love" a couple of years ago! https://youtu.be/x_D4K-nG0TY?si=85_dcj4ESc7Hv1p1
And I still cry when thinking about "He's Coming to Me"

The actors did very well, tho'! Especially the boy!

Also, the OST is remarkable, very catchy and a perfect fit for the movie!
